Massachusetts’ cold winters and humid summers contribute to distinct seasonal pest activity. At Action Pest Control, our services are timed and tailored to match these shifting conditions year-round.

• What pests become a problem in winter?

Falling temperatures drive pests like mice, rats, and other wildlife into homes for shelter. These pests often nest in attics, wall voids, or basements where heat escapes.

• Do insects disappear during winter?

Many go dormant or relocate indoors — especially bed bugs and cockroaches, which survive in heated environments.

• What about spring and summer?

As temperatures rise, so does moisture — leading to surges in ants, wasps, and termite swarms. High humidity also creates ideal conditions for bed bug spread and insect breeding.

Termites eat wood; carpenter ants don’t—they just dig through it. Both can cause serious damage if ignored.

• How can I tell them apart visually?

Unlike carpenter ants, which have elbowed antennae and uneven wing lengths, termites have straight antennae and uniform wings.

• Do both swarm indoors?

Yes — but termites often swarm near windows in spring, while carpenter ants are more seasonal.

• Are the treatments for both the same?

No. Termites require soil treatments or baiting systems, while ants are managed with baiting and wall void applications.

Bed bug bites often show up as small, red, itchy welts — usually in clusters, zigzags, or straight lines. While some people have no visible reaction, others may experience swelling, irritation, or mild allergic responses. The bites typically appear on exposed skin like arms, neck, face, or legs after sleeping.

• Can they travel from one apartment to another?

Yes. Bed bugs can move between units through walls, floors, and shared plumbing or wiring.

• Do they hitchhike in laundry or luggage?

Absolutely. This is a common way they spread between homes, hotels, and offices.

• How are hidden infestations treated?

Through detailed inspection, crack-and-crevice chemical treatment, mattress encasements, and multiple follow-ups.

Yes. Disturbing a nest can trigger aggressive swarming — especially with yellowjackets or hornets

• How do wasps respond to perceived threats?

Many species release alarm pheromones that attract others to sting in defense.

• Can I safely knock down an inactive nest?

Not recommended — some may appear empty but still contain dormant wasps.

• What’s the proper way to remove a nest?

Treating it with insecticide during low-activity hours, followed by physical removal and sealing.

Rodents like house mice and roof rats often leave behind droppings, gnaw marks, greasy rub trails, and scratching sounds in walls or ceilings. You might also notice chewed food packaging or nesting material in cabinets and basements.

• Where do rodents usually hide indoors?

Inside wall voids, attics, crawlspaces, under appliances, and near insulation or stored food.

• Can traps alone eliminate a rodent infestation?

Traps can help reduce the population, but effective control includes sealing entry points, baiting, sanitation, and long-term exclusion — all part of Action Pest Control’s rodent service.

• Can rodents cause property damage or health risks?

Yes. Rodents can chew wires (fire risk), damage insulation, and spread bacteria through droppings and urine, especially in food areas.
